Synopsis

Bus Stop is a fantastic romantic comedy-drama, which provides the ideal platform for Marilyn Monroe to shine as Cherie, an out-of-luck saloon singer. The beautiful Cherie soon becomes the focus of naive rodeo rider "Bo" Decker's affections - and while he may not be too sophisticated in terms of social etiquette, he's determined to make Cherie his girl. Despite her making a run for it to Los Angeles, Bo will stop at nothing to be reunited with his true love - and soon tracks her down, forcing her to board a bus heading for his home town of Montana. With such highlights as Monroe's performance of the famous song That Old Black Magic, Bus Stop is a memorable and highly likeable movie.
